engine to check headway. Leave the starboard engine in forward gear to
swing the boat parallel to the pier. For landings on the port side, turn
the rudders to starboard and put the starboard engine into reverse as
the boat comes in. You may have to shift into and out of gear to control
the boat’s speed.
6.3.2.3 Picking Up a Mooring
As you return to the anchorage, approach your mooring at slow speed.
Take note of how other boats are lying at their buoys. They are heading
into the wind or current and your approach course should be roughly
parallel to their heading. Stay clear of other moorings to avoid fouling
them. If you tow your dinghy, station a crew member at the helm to keep
the dinghy line from fouling the propeller.
Shift the engines into neutral when you estimate that the boat’s forward
momentum will carry you to the buoy. Station someone at the bow with a
boat hook to pick up the pennant float. If you are about to overshoot your
mark, check headway as the bow comes up to the buoy. If you fall short, a
few turns of the propeller should get you to the buoy. Keep the engine
running until the pennant eye has been secured on the bitt or bow cleat.
If your crewman can not reach the pennant or if you overshoot, get clear
and calmly try again.
6.3.3 Maneuvering
The propellers on your boat rotate in opposite directions. With only the
port propeller rotating, your boat tracks forward and to starboard in
forward gear and to port in reverse gear. With only the starboard pro-
peller rotating, your boat tracks forward and to port in forward gear and
to starboard in reverse gear.
